I Heart January

There's a lot of battling the January blues going around the blogosphere, so I'm throwing my thoughts out there. Here are my top 10 reasons that January does not suck.

1. I survived all of that horrendous snow, without falling over once. One point to me. 

2. The looooooong wait between December and January pay day finally ended. Two days earlier than expected, in fact.

3. I have a job. It may not be what I always want to do but other people would love to be in my position. I am blessed and I am thankful.

4. I made new friends in January. New friends are delightful. 

5. I get to spend the whole of January looking forward to February, which is my birthday. Yay. 

6. The bridesmaids and bride hung out together for the first time, to talk about my best friend's wedding. Girl time is always time well spent. 

7. Every week, I get to do life with some of the most amazing folks around. 'Nough said. 

8. I've had some lovely encouragement this month about Inside Melly's Mind. AND new followers.

9. Amazing things are happening in my career. 

10. I crossed off number 8 on my 'Melly in 2013' list. 

And there you have it, folks. Ten reasons that January does not suck. Does it mean I'm entirely happy with absolutely everything right now? 

No, I have still have a Masters to finish, work to get done and other goals to accomplish. The temptation is to want it all right now but maybe that isn't always for the best. 

Some fabulous things have happened this month and I have 11 months to do something about the things that I don't like. 

Anyone else had some fabulousness occur in January?

Lots of love, 

P.S. If all else fails, just eat a dessert

Everyone loves dessert
